STATEMENT TO PARLIAMENT ON THE STATE OF CRIME IN THE COUNTRY (By the Hon Minister of Internal Affairs) A.

INTRODUCTION Rt Hon Speaker, Hon Members, 1.

A number of serious crimes that have recently been committed in the country have generated concern in the population.

Following this, I communicated the matter to the National Security Committee in a meeting held on 16th July 2015.
A joint Operations Center (JOC) / Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) team under the guidance of the Inspector General of Police was set up and tasked to investigate, handle and report on the matter.

2.

I wish to take this opportunity Hon members to inform the house of the measures that have been instituted and enhanced to detect and prevent crime in order to safeguard the safety of people and their properties.

3.
3.

The recent most rampant crimes that have caused public concern and are being reported on here fall in two broad categories: i) Armed robberies /house break-ins.

These are mainly due to economic motivation.

ii) Homicide 1  Violent extremism  Witchcraft  Mob action Hon Members not withstanding, the above mentioned concerns and incidents of high profile murders and robberies, the security situation in the country is generally stable.

4.
4.

This improvement in the crime situation is attributed to; i) Enhanced Uganda Police Force capabilities ii) Enhanced cooperation among the security services through Intelligence Joint Command Centres (JOC) and Joint Committees (JIC) at national, regional, and district levels iii) Enhancement of popular vigilance, especially through recruitment, training and operationalization of community policing (Neighbourhood Watch).

This programme of community policing was officially operationalized by H.E.
the President during the Police centenary celebrations at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on 3rd October 2014. iv) The JLOS (Justice Law and Order Sector) institutions, especially the Police, the office of the Attorney General, and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions work closely together in criminal case management.
v) Institution of Regional cooperation mechanisms  East African Community (EAC)  Northern Corridor Integration Projects (NCIP)  Inter Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Rt Hon Speaker, Hon Members Appendix I is an analysis of crime incidence/trend from 2006- to date Appendix II is an analysis of incidence of homicide & aggravated robberies/break-ins from 2014- to date Appendix III is a report on killings of Muslim clerics 2 B.
PRIMARY CATEGORIES THAT AID CRIMINAL VIOLENCE: There are four primary causes that aid Criminal violence.

1.

Proliferation of small arms and light weapons.

Poor control of firearms in private security organizations.

Smuggling of small Arms and light Weapons from neighboring countries.

Uganda’s past history of instabilities where some guns were accessed and are in possession by wrong elements.

2.

Drug trafficking and abuse.

There is increased abuse of drugs.

3.

4.


Socio-cultural factors: Degeneration of values, crisis in families, domestic violence.

Human sacrifice.

Wrangles over marital relations/property Socio-economic: property wrangles: land, buildings, youth unemployment, and inequality in wealth.

Robberies for money, Business rivalry, Land disputes, Carrying large sums of money especially by business community attract criminals.
Clearly Hon Members, given this state of affairs all of us have roles to play if we are to decisively deal with crime.

C. STRATEGY TO FIGHT CRIME BY THE POLICE SUPPORTED BY SISTER SECURITY SERVICES AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES 1.

Rt Hon Speaker, whereas it is true that there have been a number of high profile murders, Parliament will note from the data given in the appendices that, since December 2014, incidents of criminal violence are on a downward trend.
It is however critical that we intensify efforts 3 to hunt down the killers, whether organized or not.

We must not lose sight of the fact that, criminal violence is a serious threat to the security and stability of Uganda and the East African region.

Quite the contrary, criminal violence has, over the decades, increasingly become the biggest threat to security and stability not only in Uganda, the region, but, the whole world.

2.
2.

Criminal violence ranges from terrorism, homicide, rape, defilement, domestic violence, armed robberies, and break-ins, riots and civil disorders, cattle rustling/thefts, motor vehicle theft, muggings, assaults and other forms of violent common crimes.

3.

In our case, for many decades, especially since 1986, we battled most extreme forms of this violence in the form of war-like threats with a multitude of insurgent and terror groups wreaking havoc in the rural and urban areas.
The different groups, have however, been decisively defeated.

In addition, cattle rustling which had ravaged Karamoja region and the neighbouring districts was decisively defeated.

Clearly, therefore, in spite of the recent killings, Uganda is in peace and there is security.

Criminal violence, in particular, and crime in general is on the decline.

It would therefore not be correct to conclude from the recent incidents that the situation is getting out of hand.

4.
4.

To consolidate and deepen the positive gains in the fight against crime, the Police and sister security agencies and other law enforcement agencies have put in place strategies and measures that aim at both prevention of crime as well as effectively hunting down criminals, as we still face real threats.

4 5.
4 5.

Rt Hon Speaker, there is now what we refer to as Residual Terrorism: In spite of the above mentioned successes against terrorism;  Remnants of LRA are marauding in the Central Africa Republic being hunted by an African Union military force.

 Remnants of ADF are hiding in the jungles of Eastern DRC, and have cells in Uganda.
In fact, the recent killings of prominent personalities, in particular Muslim sheikhs, are suspected to have been carried out by ADF terror cells, and a new group linked to Dr Kiyingi.

 Al Shabab was defeated as a military force in Somalia, but continues to pose a threat to Uganda and our region.

They carry out attacks like the Westgate Mall attack, and the Garissa university attack.
In our case, we have foiled numerous attempts by Al Shabab to launch armed attacks and/or bombings, since their successful suicide bombing attack in 2010.

The latest attempt, which we successfully foiled, was in September, 2014.

 Hon Members we also suspect Violent Extremism: where investigations have established that some of the killings were carried out by individuals with scores to settle but contracting elements in these cells to carry out the killing, e.g.
the murder of Sheikh Ductor Muwaya in Mayuge, Tito Okware in Namayingo district.

See Appendix 111 D. STRATEGIES/MEASURES PUT IN PLACE 1.

On our part Hon Members, there is now Enhanced Intelligence led Policing: Through this strategy, Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI), the Internal Security Organisation (ISO), the External Security Organisation (ESO), Criminal Investigations (CID) and Directorate of Crime Intelligence (DCI) have come together to deal with issues of crime.
A National Joint Operations Centre (JOC) has been established at the Police Headquarters, Naguru, where senior officers led by their service chiefs meet daily to review and plan together to address 5 security of the country.

The Centre is served by the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC).

This arrangement is replicated at regional, and district levels.
Intelligence-led operations through close inter agency co- operation and coordination among the security agencies (Police, UPDF, Prisons, ISO, ESO) are conducted.

Security gaps are identified and filled.

Operational squads have been put in place to neutralize enemy plans and activities.

A Joint Action Plan by Security agencies to combat violent crimes has been drawn.

2.

H.E.

the President, recently, gave us strategic guidance on combating residual terrorism.
We are developing plans to operationalize it.

3.

We have put measures to counter crime.

These include; a. developing a Watch List of known criminals b. profiling individuals with criminal records to facilitate monitoring of their movements, activities and associates in the country and beyond.

c. intensify security mobilization/sensitization in the country d. Ensuring visible deployments of the security forces, e. Conducting cordon and search in suspected areas to recover weapons and to arrest criminals.
f. Counter radicalization program to dissuade potential recruits from embracing extremism (e.g.

Jihadism).

4.

Countering the Proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons: Firearms marking exercise is ongoing by all the security agencies to ensure that all guns are registered and identifiable.

In addition, joint security teams have been put in place to conduct physical regular inspections of firearms in the Security Services, Private Security Organizations (PSOs) and Private Armed people.
This is geared to enhance control and accountability of the firearms in their custody to avoid misuse.

5.

Since some Muslim leaders and other prominent personalities appear to be targeted, we are providing personal security to them.

6.

Strengthen cooperation and coordination among the JLOS institutions 6 - Prosecution led investigations - Expedite investigations and prosecution of reported cases - Deployment of more Judicial officers and Prosecutors to expedite the judicial process.
- Recruitment of more judges to handle capital offences.

- Increase in both human and non-human capacity to other stakeholders in the criminal Justice System to enhance the process of investigations.

7.

We continue the task of building the capacity and capabilities of the Police and sister security agencies, in particular investing in security technologies such as installation of CCTV cameras around the city and along major highways.

8.
8.

Strategy of combined technical capacities and capabilities of the Police with popular vigilance (Neighbourhood Watch through the system of crime preventers), and strengthening vigilance, of and coordination among the LC system, especially LC I, Sub-county security committees and District security committees.

9.

We are also addressing the challenges in the criminal justice system so that justice is delivered and credibility of the system among the public is built.
We have noted that mob action is the biggest cause of homicide.

Lynching suspected thieves by the public, Corruption in the administration of justice, Conflicts/disputes taking long to be resolved in courts of law, Limited sensitization on legislation and the law, all force people to resort to violence.

10.

Ensuring that all persons’ bio-metric data is captured, registered and individuals issued with Identity Cards.

11.
11.

Ensure regular holding of Regional, District and Sub-county Security Committee meetings.

7 C. CONCLUSION In conclusion Rt Hon Speaker and Hon Members, I want to assure the house and country that despite the recently high profile murders, the crime rate in the country is on the downward trend.

Not only has the crime rate and trend been declining since 2006, there was a marked reduction in crime in the Jan-June 2015 period compared to the same period in 2014.
For instance, while there were 143 incidents of death by shooting between Jan-June in 2014, there were 74 incidents of death by shooting in the same period in 2015.

However, to keep the rate on the down ward trend we request for enhanced support of Parliament and the public to address other pertinent issues that feed into criminal violence.

These include but are not limited to social, economic and cultural factors, as earlier mentioned in the report.
